Ingredients for Paneer Makhani
- 200–250 g paneer (cubed)
- 1 cup Rasa Red Indian Gravy
- 1–2 tbsp butter
- 2–3 tbsp fresh cream (malai)
- ½ tsp red chilli powder (adjust to taste)
- ¼ tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp kasuri methi (crushed)
- Salt (only if needed – gravy already contains salt)
- ½ tsp sugar or honey (optional, balances acidity)
- 2–3 tbsp water or milk (to adjust consistency)
- Few drops of butter or cream for garnish
How to Make Paneer Makhani at Home (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Prep the Paneer
If paneer feels firm or rubbery, soak cubes in warm salted water for 10 minutes. Drain before using.
Step 2: Start the Base
Heat butter in a pan on medium flame.
Step 3: Add the Magic
Add 1 cup Rasa Red Indian Gravy.
Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thick and oil begins to separate.
This step enhances the depth and richness of flavour.
Step 4: Season Perfectly
Add red chilli powder, garam masala, sugar (if using), and salt only if required. Mix well.
Step 5: Adjust Consistency
Add water or milk gradually to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6: Add Paneer
Add paneer cubes gently and cook on low flame for 3–4 minutes.
Avoid overcooking to keep paneer soft.
Step 7: Finish Like a Pro
Add fresh cream and crushed kasuri methi.
Mix gently and turn off the heat.
Garnish with a few drops of butter or cream.
Your restaurant-style Paneer Makhani is ready.
